Shortly after this segment, last year’s winner Willow Nightingale was being interviewed in the back and was asked for her reaction to Statlander’s declaration.

Nightingale sought revenge on Statlander on Collision but she escaped the ring in time.

Before leaving the ring, she pulled Mariah May onto the apron and wanted her to become a future world champion like herself.
